AwoTnen PostTPoxRMENT OF THE Popx’s Rerorn. _(reat doubts are now entertained as to the Pope's ve‘arn to Rome at the time named, that event having, at a eaid, been once more postponed. The Vaztonaie afthe 25:5 ult, contains 4 report that his Holiness, dis- rrosting the fidelity of his subjects, entertains the pro- wot of proteeding to Ancona or Legharn, and placing

ymesif uncer the protection of the Austrians, which morament will be protected by the French: squadron, expected in the Mfediterranean. There is also report 0 s general amnesty, from which only 30 of the most com- mised individuals will be excluded, of which Cardi- sa) Lambrvschios will be the bearer a few days before the return of the Pops. This report, says the Nazionale, pears to be spread for the purpose of deceiving ance, eid it laughs at the idea ot Cardinal Lambrus- chinj entering Rome as the messenger of peace with the aelf-gratulstion of France at the success of her wrediation, while at the same moment his Holiness @scapes in the opposite direction. On the 2ist the Aus- trian arms were again erected at the Austrian erabasay, not by the Austrians, but by the municipal counc)l, as ion for the insuit committed last year by the po- pulace, who tore them down. The French troops were act present, being consigned by general Baraguay a’!1illiers to their barracks.

Accipent TO 4 Raievay TRAIN, AND NARROW escape oF Lire.—The Boston Herald states that the train which left Boston on Monday at 5 p.m. for New York, via Worcester and Norwich, was passing at full speed over the bridge at Oxford, about 12 miles beyond Worcester, when it was perceived that the Bridge was siving way, and thatan awful death menaced al) on board the train.

The engine, tender, and baggage car bed just cross- ed the bridge, when the crash came, and the entire pas- senger train, crowded go that many had to stand up in the cars, wag precipitated into the water beneath.

The scene at this moment was appaling.-~ The water was nine feet deep, and some of the cars were entirely immersed. The night was extremely cold; and the danger of immediate death by drowning was immincot. ’ The first report was, that 39 passengers had been killed; but our jatest despatch contradicts this atate- ment, and brings the gratifying intelligence that but one life hes been sacrificed, that of a brakeman, although all were more or lees injared. ‘The conductor was sé- riously hurt. :

OPENING OF THE SESSION,

Tuer Legislature was again opened on Thursday by His Excellency the Lieutenant Goversor, at two o'clock. The Speech is laccnic enough, and was delivered we are informed, in evident ill-temper; the tone in which the Assembly was addressed gave offence to many members of that Body.

HIS EXCELLENCY’S SPEECH.

Mr. President, and Honorable Gentiemen of the Legis- lative Council :

Jation wre ina state of idleness; but deduct from this! agp Speaker, and Gentlemen of the House of Assem-

pomber the women and children and the classes whe do not labour at a!!, and what a pretty picture of prosperity 1g presented!!! Traly it was well that there were sensible men in ovr community who were not to be caught by the annexation. “ hurra.” The accoun: given Sy the 7ridune bears out whata very respectable aster tradesman from this city related to the writer, in New York a few weeks oro. We were enquiring of him how he gut on, and whether be got more for his wotk (upholsterer, cabinet nmking, &e..) than in Mon- trea). To our surprise he said “No; that the prices wore Jower, but that labour also was lower he could get good German workinen at 40 cents a day, and by this means, and by always doiug a cash business, he just eantrived to keep afloat.” ‘These facts serve to show how thoroughly falfacious is the idea that annexation would be beneticial to the labouring classes, [t must be mentioned too that this statement of the Tribune is conta’ned in an, articie in which the editor is insisting ‘aa the necessity of a high tariff—or, in other words. hizh prices for tnost of the necessaries of life. A low mnarket for lubour and a hich market for manufactured goods —this is the present policy of the American Go- vernment, and one of its present results is forty thousand idle souls in the city of New York alone. What an argument in favour of protection! Mark the effects of a differeat policy in “old” abased England. If there ever was a country in which the public men might be excused frow ahrinking from the experiment of Free Trade, England was that country. If on the other hand, there was ever a country which might safely wake the experiment, the United States was that cirintry.

Yet the United Statea shrunk from the trial, whilst the older country, with all its gecial embarragsments, its involved commercial systems, ite conflicting interests, and its enormous nationa! debt, went boldly ahed.

What has been the result ?. “Mest what it ought to have been. England atthe present moment is flourish- ing, we firnly believe, to an extent unkaown in any period of her turmer history, her manufacturers busy. hereommerce extenjinr, and the aoctal condition of

her people daly improvinz—oid as she is, there 1s more! af the spirit of youth io her frame, than in those of her| youager competitors. — VV ith her, every step ws in adn imc? lu every great work of Oumanity—in avery great refaria sho ia st the head. Witness her efforts to abolish siacery—look at her recent commercial policy! And ret we are asked to abandon this country, and are re- Jarrad to the superior wisdom, energy, and prosperity of hee rival! Truly we snould like to see them! We ven elavery—which is a dark spot on hunanity—and wo sue aon exclusive con nerciel aysiem, bnt wa ‘cannot consider these evidences cuher of a high civilization or wisdom.

lyon may proceed with the despatch of local business, jtogether with the consideration of those important sub-

jects affecting the general interests of the British North American Colonies, to which your attention was direct- ed in the last Session.

Mr. Speaker, and Gentlemen of the House of Assem- biy: al The Act for raising a Revenue will expire on Wed- nesday next. It is evident that withouta Revenue Act this Island must suffer heavy loss and injury, and es it is in your power to avert these evils | hope you will do so,

HOUSE OF ASSEMMDBLY,. Taurspay, April 25.

Mr. Dovse’s Sxat Vacateo.—On the motion of Mr. Fraser, the following Kesolution was unanimously agreed to:

“ Resolved. That, in conformity with the provisions of the Act, Ll Vic. cap. 21, the seat of Willtem Douse, Kaquire, elected a member for the Third [District of Queen’s County, be declared vacant, in consequence of| his continued absence from the isiand.”

Reporter.--On the motion of Coles, Mr. R. B. Irving was appoited Reporier.

Prinring of THE JourNats.— Mr. Coles moved tha: Mz. John J. Pippy be authorized to continwe the Print-

i

he had always done, whether his party was numerics | 'y weak or strong. Messrs. Montgomery, Clark, Yeo. Longworth, a!so each opposed the motion, urging the propriety of throwing the coatract open to public cosm- petition. Mr. Longworth then moved in amendment, That a Committee be appointed to advertise for tenders for the printing of the Journals; ard to report thereon to the House ; which motion was agreed to.

The usual standing Committees were afterwards tp- pointed ; and then the House adjourned.

tt ie the intention of the Assembly to pass a Revere Bill. Their object in so doing is to provide for the payment of the Salaries fixed by the Civil List Byi!,

keep faith with the tome Government, and shew ghey are desirous of meeting the wishes of the Colonia! Mya- ister, iftheir demand for Responsible Government be acceded to, The appropriation of the Revenue wil} be restricted to the payinent of the Salaries only mention edn the Act, wherever (and no sooner) it shall come into operation—to the payment, we believe, of the ir terest on Treasury Wartrants—end to the contingent expenses of the Legislature. : .

As the Lieutenant Governor has not, as yet, evince! any disposition to meet the views of the House of As- sembly, it is highly probable the latter will decline s: at once transacting further business than merely pase. ing a Revenue Bill and renew ing expiring laws; ana then proceed to declare a want of confidence in His Ex- cellency, and petition Her Majesty to remove him from, the Government. Such, we beleive, is the course the Louse will pursue, should the Governor continue in lee oppesition.

On yesterday evening, since the above. was written, the anawer to the Speech was debated in the House, when. Mr. Coles proposed an amendment to Mr. Palmer’s draft, which was carried by a large majority ; and thus another proof was afforded of the extreme unpopularity and weakness of the Government. The amended an. swerto the Speech declares the determination of the House to do no further business than passing a Revenne Bill under certain restrictions,

A New Manvune.—We gather from our exchanges ibat a new manure, of great fertilizing power, has heen discovered, and is now in extensiveuse in the United States. tis called “ Prepared Guano,” and is mann- factured by Kentish & Go. of New York. It is thus described in a recent pamphlet: : :

“This manure is 80 combined, that the amonia ané other fertilizing gases are absorbed, fixed, and are given out to vegetation, only as it requires them. No rot. mildew, worm or other insects can epproach it—an im. portant consideration to farmers generally, but particn- larly in potatoe plantiag. It will be found admirabis sdapted for restoring and fertilizing such lands vs have been worn out and abandoned.”
